what
must i believe if i do not believe in a creator?

This is an
Interesting Exercise, One That Most People Don't Think to Do...

What
if a person does not believe that God created the heavens and the
earth, etc.? To put it another way, if you don't believe
Christianity, you MUST believe the following:

1)
You must believe that your capacities for logical thinking
and rational decision making emerged from randomness. If this
is so, then how can we KNOW that our logical facilities are
reliable? Indeed, there is NO scientific evidence for the
'evolution' of 'thought', or of 'logic'.

2)
Speaking of science: Many people accept that the
scientific method is the only reliable basis for believing something to
be true. But indeed, how do we know this assertion to be
true? Surely science cannot prove it! That would be
a circular argument - using science to prove science is the source of
truth. Hence, we cannot know FOR SURE that science is the
ONLY way to prove truth. Clearly we could miss something
then, if we only rely on science. Besides, by definition
science can only answer questions relating to NATURE, not the
SUPERNATURAL.

3)
You must believe that something can come from
nothing. In fact, you must believe that EVERYTHING came from
nothing! You must believe this, despite the fact that there
is absolutely NO evidence of anything that comes from
nothing.

4)
You must believe, despite the EVERYDAY evidence that
everything has a cause, that 'everything' we see in front of us
inevitably had no cause at its beginning. Clearly, another
example of an unprovable belief. (The interesting theories
that 'scientists' come up with to counter these problems are quite
amusing. For instance, the most popular belief at this time
is either that the universe has always existed, or that there are an
infinite number of universes. Both are completely unprovable
- all they do is simply prove that some will believe almost anything,
despite the evidences to the contrary, in order to be able to 'not'
believe in a God!)

5)
If these seen to be too philosophical, consider this
one: You must believe that mankind, and everything in the
world, evolved from 'air'. This is known as 'molecules to man
evolution'. And despite what is conventionally accepted about
'macro-evolution' (there is no dispute over 'micro-evolution'), there
is absolutely NO evidence for it!

Seems quite a stretch doesn't it? For me, these are reasons
alone to begin looking at alternatives. This is one strong
reason that 'Christianity is the only faith system that makes sense'!
